Notice on the bottom of the page is a link to "do" the upgrade. When you click on it your machine will be checked to see if it has all the latest patches and updates. If it doesn't, and it probably won't, you will be sent to the update page in Windows. It looks like this:
Click on the "Windows Update" bar and the download/update process will begin. Depending on how long it has been since the last update was performed, you could have a wait. Windows will inform you as it goes through the process of downloading and applying each patch.
Once the downloads are complete and all the changes/patches have been applied, Windows will reboot. If you are not automatically brought to the Microsoft Store, click on the tile on the main page. The Microsoft Store page will look like this:
Click on this tile to start the updating process.
Click on the Download tile/button to begin updating to Windows 8.1. You will be at the Installs windows where you will see a series of notices as the process takes place.
At the end of this process you will see a page where you are told you have to restart Windows. Click on the Restart Now tile/button.
Windows will restart a number of times. At the end, you will know you have successfully updated Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 when you are asked to accept the Terms and Conditions at this page:
When you click on the "I accept" tile/button. The machine will reboot one more time and come up running Windows 8.1. You will immediately notice some changes to the Desktop tiles. From now on, this is how you will update any changes to Windows 8.1.
